Carlos Tevez reveals difference between football rivals Ronaldo and Messi

Former Man.U and Man City star, Tevez has revealed the difference between newly signed Juventus striker, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Tevez played alongside Ronaldo when he was playing at Manchester United and also shared the same dressing room with Lionel Messi Internationally in the colours of the Albiceleste of Argentina.

“Lionel Messi, I never saw him in the gym,” he told the Argentina media.

“I’ve never seen him train in the stops or do technical exercises.

“It is all natural to him, but on penalties, he trained: first he did not take them and now he shoots them all at the corner.”

Tevez said Cristiano Ronaldo is a workaholic that gets to training before any player while they were together at Old-Trafford

“Cristiano always stopp ed in the gym after training: for him it is an obsession and, being the best in everything, he always arrived at work early.

“When the training was set for 9 in the morning I arrived at 8 and he was already there.

“Even if I arrived at 7.30 he was already there.

“I began to ask myself, ‘How can I get rid of this guy?’ So one day I arrived at 6 but he was already there! Sleepy, but he was there.”

The two great footballers of our time have shared the coveted Ballon d'Or award equally with five wins apiece in the last 10 years, as the eternal debate over who is ultimately the best player in the game has rumbled on intensely among fans and experts in the background.
